It is also in typically South African style the most horrible looking thing Ive ever seen.

 

Look at how the chain is dragging on the stay. YUCK!

Price will be around €2,300 (frameset)? I'm out.

I am beginning to think the S.A. cycling community is becoming more interested in being non-conformist than what they are in cycling.

[Bike Mob]

I would think the BB will drop once you sit on it and effectively raise the chain line.

 

beside that I think it's an awesome concept and the bike looks good. I would buy one

I like it. Cool idea.

[Bat-ass]

i'm impressed.... good on the SA boy pushing the boundries of design!!

[SwissVan]

Are that a bigger (27.5?) on the front and a 26" at the back or just an illusion?

[Pieterg]

Not to bad
